Chocolate Devils Food Cake Recipe
½ cup shortening 1+3/4 cups sugar 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vanilla 1/3 cup cold water ½ cup cocoa 2+1/2 cups sifted cake flour 1 cup cold water 3 large egg whites 1+1/2 teaspoons baking soda 1/3 cup cold water
Preheat oven to 350*. Grease and flour two, 9” round cake pans. Cream shortening and 1 cup of the sugar until light; add the salt and vanilla. Combine 1/3 cup cold water and cocoa; beat this into the creamed mixture. Add flour alternately with 1 cup of cold water; beat after each addition. Beat the egg whites until soft peaks form; gradually add the remaining ¾ cup sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Fold into the batter. Dissolve baking soda in 1/3 cup cold water; add to the batter and mix well. Bake at 350* for about 30 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes in the pans and then turn out onto racks to finish cooling. Cool completely before icing.
